Just saw the segment on you, that rocked!!!
You're already great on the weather wall and I think they ought to take you on as a part-timer/fill in for Weather 26. Your enthusiasm is catching and you seem to have a true calling for it.
Great to see you featured.
Hey Mike,
I found another way to "forecast" a year's weather in advance.
I grew up in Amarillo and read their paper online every day. Today, Jon Beilue's column has an interesting way of looking at the weather.
I figured it might be fun to see if it would work here.

Many of those "old ways" really have some merit.
I'm sitting here in my livingroom in Friendswood at almost 4:30 a.m. and I'm seeing lighning off to the east. Nothing is falling yet but I'm believing the forcasts for more rain today.
My backyard is a nice lake, I wasn't aware I was buying waterfront property when we bought the house in 1995. Of course, we went through Allison without flooding, it came halfway up my driveway in front and in back it covered the patio and was within a fraction of an inch from coming into the house via the back door.
I really like the rain, it keeps us from getting to the summer heat and it keeps the water temperature down in the gulf. I've only lived in the area since 1990 but I've watched the hurricanes and I've figured out that when the beach temperature gets over 80, we start watching, when it gets over 85 and pushing 90, it's time to really start watching and having the supplies in a convienient place, the essential papers in the box, and the tubs for other valuables nearby.
More rain comin'. More light show going on.
